3 Terms and definitions
The quantities and units specified in GB 3102.7-1993 are adopted in this specification.
For the purposes of this specification, the terms and definitions given in JJF 1001 and JJF 1034 and the following apply.
3.1
acoustic emission
phenomenon whereby transient elastic waves are generated by the rapid release of energy within a material
[GB/T 12604.4-2005, Definition 2.1]
3.2
acoustic emission signal amplitude
peak voltage of the maximum amplitude obtained from the waveform of the acoustic emission signal
Note: Unit: V, typically expressed in dB, with a reference value of 1 μV.
3.3
threshold value
preset voltage value above which an acoustic emission signal amplitude can be detected, typically expressed in dB, with a reference value of 1 μV
Note: The threshold value is also commonly referred to as threshold.
3.4
hit
any signal that exceeds the threshold value and causes a channel of the acoustic emission instrumentation to acquire data
3.5
rise time
time interval between the first threshold crossing and the maximum amplitude of an acoustic emission signal
3.6
duration time
time interval between the first threshold crossing of the acoustic emission signal and its final return to the threshold
3.7
ring-down count
number of times the amplitude crosses a preset threshold value within each acoustic emission hit signal
3.8
crosstalk
noise resulting from signal coupling between channels
3.9
self noise
equivalent load noise present when the acoustic emission instrumentation is connected to the sensor and preamplifier
4 General
Acoustic emission instrumentation is used to detect acoustic emission signals and to analyze and determine the characteristics of the acoustic emission source. The corresponding parameters of acoustic emission instrumentation include self noise, frequency range, dynamic range, and acoustic emission waveform parameters (rise time, duration time, peak amplitude, and ring-down count). See Figure 1 for its basic characteristic parameters.
